The radio will have it's own harness. Your job is to match
and connect all the loose wires between the two.

Re: Temp gauge to mid liine

I realized that I changed the sensor after the overheating took place, so I will try checking resistance. I did find a table, so do I just clean out the connection , if I figure out it is bad?

What could be the reason? 2 weeks ago, the temp would only move if the car was stopped and the engine was running. As soon as I moved temp would drop down. So a little over a week ago the radiato...
